Today started of to be just cloudy and a little breezy. Then the clouds came and it got really dark. It started to rain some, then cleared up. In the afternoon it got really dark almost like night, and all the sudden the rain just came down in sheets. For as far as my little eyes could see there was just rain. I looked down the street and rain, looked out my window and just rain in the front yard. Same for the back yard. My little eyes got tired of just seeing rain. It rained so hard that I now have a small swimming pool in my backyard. There are great big puddles on the streets and the gutters just flowed with water. For as long as I have been alive (1.11 years almost 2 years) I have never ever seen it rain like that. I am shure glad I do not live outside or I would have been a very wet cat, and I hate the water.
Oh the fight over the big chair has cooled down a little. I am letting Lucy think she has one. Once she becomes comfortable and leaves the big chair more often I will then make my more. It may take a few weeks, but I believe in a month the chair will be mine or we will be sharing the chair.

Well, Lucy and I are still fighting over the big chair. Last night I sat with Lucy in the big chair for a short time. Then she left the chair and I was in by myself them I got out and played strings. I do not know why Lucy does not want to share the chair with me. I do not stink so that should not be a problem with her sharing the chair. Actually I smell really good. If I was Abbey, and smelled like a dog I could understand why she did not want to sit with me, but I am not Abbey or any dog. This afternoon I saw that she was in the big chair hogging it all to herself. The chair is big enough for two, and I think we could sit in it together nicely. However Lucy does not see it that way, and want the chair to herself. I wish my family would make her share the chair. Well I planning to have the chair tonight, and if she want in the chair that will be fine, but we will share the chair.

Last I wrote I thought I might have been winning the chair competion between Lucy and myself. I thought either I would get the chair or we could share. Unfortunately, I was a little bit wrong. For the last 2 nights Lucy has been hogging the chair. She lays out in the chair, and takes up all the space. There is no room for me. Apperently my family thinks that is just fine as they make no effort to make her share.
In fact they encourage her to hog the chair. They put blanket around her which take up more room. When I even look like I might jump into the chair with Lucy they tell me no. It is not fair that Lucy gets to hog the big chair all the time. My mom says she gets to sit in the chair as she is older and has senority. Is it my fault I am younger and have not lived here as long as she has lived here? I do not think so.

Eventhough I am still upset about the chair situation I think I have out smarted Lucy. You see I found a better place to sit. I sit on top of the dryer. The dryer is still being used so it is nice and warm It feels so nice to lay down on the dryer when it is running and have you body get warmed, and lay on nice warm towels. I am not telling Lucy how cool it is to lay on top of the dryer as she will probably come and take the spot over.

Lucy and I have been in competition at our house. In our living room there is a real nice big chair. It is soft and comfortable and lots of room to spread out. It is the best chair in the whole world. Lucy has lived with the family for many many years. I know I am a newbe, but I think I should also be able to sit in this cool chair. One night I did have the chair, and my mom took me out. However, Lucy did not go sit in so I ran right back to the big chair. She took me out again and we played strings. Then I ran back to chair. Finally, she gave up and let me stay in the big chair. Then the next night Lucy had the chair, and I thought well there is enough room for two cats, and I jumped into the chair and sat with Lucy. Lucy gave in a dirty cat look, but I did not move. I stayed in the chair with her. Finally, momma made me go into a smaller chair cause I was sleeping sitting up as Lucy would not give me much room. I think that we should share the chair equally. A fifty-fifty deal. We could both sit in the big chair, but no cat can have more room than the other. That would only be fair. I am going to have to talk to mom and Lucy about that idea.

My birthday is March 15th and I will turn 2 years old. I am very excited as I never remember having a birthday. My mom said I will get a lot of presents and a special dinner. I am very excited even though I know it is a long time away. However, I thought it would be best to start planning my day so I can have the best birthday I will ever have. I already made out my birthday list and I thinking what I would like for my dinner. I do like human chicken. Maybe I will ask my family to cook me some chicken. I also like Turkey so maybe I will ask for Turkey. Better yet maybe I will ask for both. I just do not know what I will ask for. I do know I want toys for presents. I just have to narrow it down. I guess I better get to work

Boy I am having a lot of fun this past few days. I played strings a lot. I love the string to run all over the house. It is fun to chase it or watch it then pounce on it. Sometimes the string will be swinging around the air and I like to jump up and get it. It is a lot of fun. I also like to chase the string when it goes in circles. Playing strings is a lot of fun.

I also like to play ball. I like to push it around the house and chase after it. Mom says sometimes it looks like I am playing soccer. I can also play by myself when I am a lone so I do not always need people to help me play.

Another thing I have fun doing is sitting in the window and watching the neighborhood. I see a lot of people walking by the house. It is funny to see dogs walking by on leashes. A cat would never let that happen.

Well, it is about time my family helped me to write in my diary. On monday I got the biggest suprise I had in a long time. I found out I was chosen to be the Party Palace Princess of the week. What a honor and what a lucy cat I am.

Today it is raining, and not much for a cat to do. I rested most of the day. My fur sister Lucy is doing a lot better she got her medicine for her gums and she seems to feel better. I am glad as I do not want her sick
Well, it is about dinner time so I guess I go see what we are having tonight. Hope it is fish

Last night I took care care of my poor sick cat sister Lucy. Lucy is in real bad shape. She has asthma pretty bad, a sore tooth, and she kept throwing up. Last night our momma put her in the big chair, and covered her up in blankets. I could tell she was not feeling well, so I jumped up in the chair and sat with her all night. When she went to bed I went to bed. I tried to make her better, and I think I did a pretty good job. She looked a lot better today, and she only threw up a couple of times. Ths afternoon she went to the vet. The vet gave her medicine for her asthma and tummy. When her tummy is better she will get medicine for her tooth. She is up now, and is hungry which is a good thing. Going to check on my patient now

My superbowl team won yesterday. I am so happy. This was my first time of watching the superbowl (that I can remember). It was so nice to pick the winning team. It was a good game, and the cardinals played very well. However, I do not know why a team would be called cardinals. Those birds are not scary. Any cat knows a bird is another name for dinner. Another question what type of person would wear a helmet with a bird on it? If they want to have scary bird on their helmet, then they should be called the hawks, and have a hawk on their helmet. Hawks are very scary birds. I know I never want to see a hawk.
